The book covers far more than your usual range of herbs - it also discusses wild plants with medicinal/culinary uses. The book has very clear and comprehensive photographs, although for some plants skimps on the cultivation details. In one instance, I noticed the error where it states that it's predominately Elder *leaves* that are used, but in reality it is the *berries*. A somewhat disturbing error, given the leaves are toxic.
I wouldn't buy this if I wanted a book on traditional culinary herbs, there's plenty of those around. I'd consider this book if I wanted something about wild food, but then 'Wild Food' by the same author is much nicer and includes recipes..!
Herbs (The garden plant series)
This book is colourful, helpful & very interesting indeed. Easy to understand & to follow. I would buy 2nd hand from the same buyer again as it arrived better than expected. All books in the Roger Phillips series seem to be above average.

I have yet to receive this product even though it was ordered with another book, which I have received. It was promised to be with me before the 21st December and I have yet to receive it.
Listmania!
